Yes, I’m aware that 3/5 != 2/3.

I was addressing your statement that “the quorum number is set at 20.” One could interpret that statement to mean that the specific number of 20 is established by law, which would be incorrect. I posted a clarification for those who are interested.

Thank you. But the quorum figure does not change. As long as the total number of Senators is 33, quorum will always be 20. Should the Legislature change the total number of Senators in the body, then the quorum would change according to the 3/5 rule.
